From the release notes:

* Fixed crashes in...
- [wm forget] on Cocoa


Whoohooo! Does this entirely fix the annoying problems with wm forget on
Cocoa? (bug 3382423?) That'd be a big step forward:)
Thanks for the update

I think the crash is fixed; I can no longer crash Wish running the
sample script you appended. So, I've closed the bug. Redraw of the
window is still a bit wonky, but that wasn't the focus of the bug.

Great!! Can you also check 3573447? I see the patch did something with
TkWmDeadWindow. The issue with "tk busy" was that a window recieved
messages after being destroyed, while the only thing happening was that
the busy window was created, never mapped, and then destroyed - might be
"accidentally" fixed, too.

I don't think that one has been addressed yet.
